Usage Note :

Do not confuse infer and imply. If you infer that something is the case, you decide that it must be the case because of what you know, but without actually being told. From this simple statement I could infer a lot about his wife. If you imply that something is the case, you suggest that it is the case without actually saying so. Rose's barrister implied that he had married her for her money.

不要混淆 infer 与 imply。infer 表示在没有被明确告知的情况下,根据已知信息推断某事是事实。例如,From this simple statement I could infer a lot about his wife (从这句简单的话我能够推断出关于他妻子的很多情况)。imply 指不加以明说,但通过暗示表明某事的事实。例如,Rose's barrister implied that he had married her for her money (罗斯的律师暗示他是为了她的钱才娶了她)。
